Mechanic Hunt Manley was hired from Burlington’s Old Spokes Home to hand-build the bikes (the titanium frames are welded in Taiwan)".<br /><br />Just as I thought. WELDED IN TAIWAN! At least not by meditating communists.

It can burst into flames that you can't put out without a special fire extinguisher! Do all Mag frames come with a frame mounted Class D Fire Extinguisher? Just think of the mfr's liability if not! And am I the only one who remembers McGuyver escaping a very scary situation by cutting up a frame, filing a bunch of the metal inside one of the tubes with a small hole at one end, and then using it as a torch? Come on...that was TOTALLY believable! Stuff like that happens ALL THE TIME! Just imagine his dire predicament if it had been 30 years later and the frame was crabon! He'd be DEAD!! And that all just made me think of MY dire predicament, as I have a vintage Rock Shox Mag 21 suspension fork in my attic for crying out loud...how am I still ALIVE? I bet TSA would totally not let me fly with it...it's almost as dangerous as 3.7 oz of fluid for crying out loud!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517087265569164625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-8281429819420745702018-09-23T00:09:52.835-04:002018-09-23T00:09:52.835-04:00A wooden frame can get tinder dry while titanium i...A wooden frame can get tinder dry while titanium is a multi-purpose grindr.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-69026560374002061202018-09-22T07:00:30.222-04:002018-09-22T07:00:30.222-04:00Leroy,i finally visited perry rubber in savannah w...Leroy,i finally visited perry rubber in savannah while on vacay.nice place.bad boy of the southnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-21226215269903933522018-09-21T19:38:06.712-04:002018-09-21T19:38:06.712-04:00Um, aren't these:
